README

linenoise

A lightweight readline-replacement library for Haskell based on the linenoise library. (Not production ready!) See the demo app for usage, or see the climb library for higher-level building blocks for GHCi-like REPLs with colon-commands.

Differences from alternatives

haskeline
- This uses FFI to a minimal C library vs pure Haskell
- This uses standard MTL/Unlift typeclasses vs custom ones.
- This does not require the use of a specific monad transformer.
readline
- This offers a MonadIO/MonadUnliftIO interface vs raw IO.
- This vendors and statically links its underlying library to simplify the build process.

License and attribution

This library includes the source code and license for linenoise in cbits. It is a fork of an older library with all licensing and attribution preserved.

Development workflow

This project uses stack to build.

The Makefile has a bunch of relevant phony targets for a development workflow including

build - Build the library and demo
download - Update vendored linenoise
demo - Run the demo app
deps - Install dev tools
lint - Lint with hlint
format - Format with stylish-haskell
docs - Generate docs

In addition, there are targets starting with ci that are invoked in various CI phases.

TODO

Support unicode (may involve vendoring a linenoise fork)
Verify that the FFI modifications for ByteString are memory-safe

*Note that all licence references and agreements mentioned in the linenoise README section above are relevant to that project's source code only.
